PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE:

Dear Sisters:

Another summer is about to end and I for one look forward to cooling off after the heat wave we’ve experienced.  However, I do prefer this to digging out from under a foot of the white stuff.

I trust everyone had a wonderful summer enjoying family and friends or spending time in far away places.

It’s now time to get back to work, and to that end, we have prepared a preliminary calendar of events and speakers for 2006
 

 

thru 2007. However, we also need your input of additional topics and guest speakers to schedule events that will be meaningful to you.  So put on your thinking caps as we need to make contact early on to finalize our choices.  I’m counting on the support of each member of CJNBW to make this a truly successful year.  Thanks for your assistance  and hard work during the past year.  Do enjoy your summer and have safe travels wherever your adventures may take you.

Joyce

TIPS

Refrigerator Deodorizer:  Removal of Perfume Stains - Use cool water to soak or sponge the stain immediately.  Then pour a bit of white household vinegar on a sponge and apply to the stain.  Rinse.  If any stain remains, put liquid laundry detergent into it and launder as usual.
 
CLOTHING COLLECTION
Clothing (in good condition and clean, for working women) are always needed by the Urban Women's Center, 1201 W. State St., Trenton. Contact: Dir., Doris Williams (609) 989-1925) and Dress for Success, (also known as Suitably Dressed), 640 S. Broad St., Trenton (contact Mary - 989-6639 - from 1 p.m. - 4 p.m.; Mon - Fri). These organizations assist women who are returning to work after a lengthy absence, and do not
 
have and do not have the proper attire for work. They also need shoes and handbags. Thank you for your help in this matter. Your donations will be greatly appreciated. If you have large donations, it would be best to contact these agencies and arrange for drop off and to find out if they have the space for large donations. They can use suits and other clothing for men, also.

 

PLEASE KEEP THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS
 IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS:
We also send well wishes to  the following:  Louise's uncle, Kevin; Illean's brother, Bill; and Lorna's mother.
